3 P’s
PEOPLE
The 1st “P” in 3PWL stands for “People.”
Here at 3PWL we specialize in the sport of Olympic weightlifting. However, more important than the gym building, more important than the programming, or the equipment, or the platforms, or the bars - here at 3P weightlifting - we understand that what truly makes this sport special is not the weight that’s lifted - but the weightlifter that’s lifting that weight.

PROGRESS
The 2nd “P” in 3PWL stands for “Progress.”
Here at 3PWL we chase progress over perfection. No one is ever going to be the perfect lifter, but with that said - progress comes in more ways than just the weight of the bar going up. Progress can come in the form of improved technical proficiency, better mobility, better positions, better timing, better mental fortitude. Whatever your weakness is in the sport of weightlifting - we will help you make progress.

PERFORMANCE
The 3rd “P” in 3PWL stands for “Performance.”
Whether or not you plan on competing in the sport of weightlifting or if you’re using weightlifting to help supplement another sport - being able to take what you have done in practice and then perform on the platform or in whatever your field is, is important. No matter where your life takes you, we want to help you be prepared to perform to the best of your abilities.
